Released in 2003, absolution is the third studio album from the stadium filling band Muse, following the reasonable succeses of the first two albums, Absolution is by far the best, beautifully created and produced, it flows better than melted chocolate and has you gripped from the very first note.
The most popular songs such as 'butterflies and hurricanes' and 'time is running out' were made into critic squashing singles that very few could pick fault.
Reaching number 1 in the UK top 40 with this album the usually quite underground band found mainsteam success, without a cost to their epic live shows which based around this album continue to fill stadiums across the word.
if you dont already own this album you are missing out, if only on the endless potential for air guitar-ing!
Tracklist:
1.Intro
2.Apocalypse Please
3.Time Is Running Out
4.Sing for Absolution
5.Stockholm Syndrome
6.Falling Away With You
7.Interlude
8.Hysteria
9.Blackout
10.Butterflies and Hurricanes
11.The Small Print
12.Endlessly
13.Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
14.Ruled by Secrecy
This album produced 6 singles, tracks: 2,3,4,5,8,10
The single 'time is running out' was the most succesful, reaching number 8 in the uk singles chart and became their landmark song as it helped to break them into the US market, reaching number 9 in the US modern rock chart.
Top album, Must have CD.

Nice review. ^_^ Muse ftw.

Wicked album, love muse. Your reviews will need a bit more detail to get higher ratings (That way you'll get more dosh!) Also if you read as many other peoples reviews as possible, you in turn will get more reads (And more dosh!). Hope thats helpful, I'm only getting to grips with this site too, but that should help you out. I'll add you to my friends list to get you underway......Logan
